Re: 4G USB Mobile Modem with WiFi and Broadband Connection Manager

I don't work with the Pre-Paid devices, but I had a look on our database for this model and I found that the modem interface can be accessed via http://192.168.1.1 with the login and password both being: admin

Re: 4G USB Mobile Modem with WiFi and Broadband Connection Manager

Yep I'm using the browser accessed, interface built into the device. (Served up by a web server in there.)

My understanding is that there's meant to be another interface. This is a desktop program that shows up in the normal way, not via a web browser. (Behind the scenes it must use an API to "talk" to the device.)

A bit more detail, including my latest tests a few minutes ago.

I've loaded up the Connection Manager several times. Installed both with no command line option and the -a switch. No difference noted.

Time and thread info. stripped out. Up to point in a start of the program where is says "can't find your device".

I have no detail at all on how this program runs, but note that it appears to attempt to find both ZTE and Sierra devices but not Huawei. That's suggestive.

There is a Telstra document (PDF) about compatible devices. It list comptibles and incompatibles, with a little image of each. No mention of this device, however it does say "and all later devices" near the beginning, suggesting it is always up to date with latest releases.

Anybody know more about this. Does the Connection Manager work with the device or not?

Re: 4G USB Mobile Modem with WiFi and Broadband Connection Manager

You're saying that other devices have the connection manager listed, but not this one. That's fairly clear cut. No specific statement that it is not supported, but strong enough indirect evidence for me.

If you have contact with those who write the materials that customers get to see:

1) Welcome letters

2) Web site content

3) The printed docs.

4) The PDF describing what the Conn. Mngr. works with.

5) etc.

Can you suggest that this point is explicitly mentioned?

That would save others trying to get the desktop interface working, from wasting time.
